The point is, the whole system is built to 'fool the ear' (into believing
you are 'there,' if nowt else)

How do you establish what "there" sounds like so that you know whether
your system actually sounds anything like it?


Exactly. My argument to all the 'accurists' who bang on about 'faithful to
the original' when they weren't even there.

As I said here recently: my only experience of Frank Sinatra (and a million
others) is of *recorded only* - I have no idea what his voice sounds like
*live*.
